Ocean Phytoplankton number one food and oxygen supply in the world

Phytoplankton the enabler of
all life: We are killing ourselves not just the oceans

We
are killing our oceans, we are killing ourselves and it is much worse then you
realize. I always say "remember where life came from" we are killing the
phytoplankton as you all may know by now but I for one had no idea how critical
a role it played in mans life, all life, including the earth itself. Makes sense
if you realize this planet and all life forms on it are all one.

This is
critical but watch this video from a friend who speaks about super foods. It was
sent to me with that in mind but when I heard the part about phytoplankton's I
stopped in my tracks. It is a natural vitamin and mineral supplement. I was
amazed but take a quick glance at this. . Here you go!

According David
Wolfe marine phytoplankton is the number one food on the planet. Marine
phytoplankton is the smallest organism on the earth. It's the bases of the
entire food chain. It grows in the ocean and produces more oxygen than all the
forests combined times three. It's the bases of sulfur. Whales eat it, dolphins
eat it. It's food for all animals at all ages. It's a complete protein source.
It contains EPA and DHA, 100% pure without contaminants. It's one of the highest
mineral and anti-oxidant foods. It contains about 90 minerals. Why not go back
to the bases?David says we can't kill all phytoplankton but I beg to differ as
we are!

In 2004 I
was alarmed because there was 150 dead spots today there are 400 and growing.
Commonly, ocean "dead zones" have been linked to agricultural runoff and other
pollution coming down major rivers such as the Mississippi or the
Columbia.

One of the largest of the 400 or so ocean dead zones is in the
Gulf of Mexico, near the mouth of the Mississippi. However, scientists now say
that some of these areas, including those off the Northwest, apparently are
linked to broader changes in ocean oxygen levels.The Pacific waters off
Washington and Oregon face a double whammy as a result of ocean circulation. Growing
low-oxygen zones in oceans worry scientists | McClatchy

Scientists
may have found the most devastating impact yet of human-caused global warming —
a 40% decline in phytoplankton since 1950 linked to the rise in ocean sea
surface temperatures. I happen to think it is largely due to man and our
pollution though some may be natural but I doubt it. We’ve known for a while
that we are poisoning the oceans and that human emissions of carbon dioxide,
left unchecked, would likely have devastating consequences. We are all part of
the whole.

“Phytoplankton are a critical part of our planetary life
support system. They produce half of the oxygen we breathe, draw down surface
CO2 and ultimately support all of our fishes said marine biologist Boris Worm of
Canada’s Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We say the ocean is
critical to life but personally I had no idea how critical. I thought we were
talking giving up fish for food not life itself. Somebody of consequence better
wake up!

Considering we have two areas of garbage the size of a state floating in both the Atlantic and Pacific is it any wonder? And that's just the stuff floating on the surface. You can imagine the industrial waste we've pumped below.

Then there's Fukushima that's dumping who knows what into the ocean. It's now not a matter of "if" it's a matter of how much radiation is going into the ocean.
